Driftwood

There’s something exciting about a hands on project that’s different from digital work. Being able to touch and hold something physical sets off different emotions than looking at a computer screen. I get the same great rush every time I set up my screen printer and begin mixing my inks. I think it’s programmed into us as humans. Anyhow, I decided to try something new this summer and start a woodworking project.

I took one wood course about seven years ago and I’ve seen Norm Abrams show enough to know that I’m equipped with neither the right tools nor the experience, but I’m confident beginners luck will be on my side.

The only teaser that I can give out right now is that it involves driftwood and a dust mask. Stay tuned.

I had a few minutes the other day, so I decided to start looking through Ira Greenberg’s book on Processing.

So far it’s just been basics, but I wanted to post these (basically premade) images as a reminder to myself that I need to make something much more original.
